"Xiahou Yuan may have to interfere in the battle in Xichuan!" In the face of Liao Hua's inquiry, Lu Xun smiled faintly and replied.

"Xichuan..." He Qi frowned and said in confusion, "The battle situation between Yu and Si is in a tight position. Cao Cao should have mobilized troops to block the general's army.

Wouldn't it be too long to intervene in Xichuan again, and it would not be of much help in alleviating the passive situation of Cao's army. Will Cao Cao really do this?"

"I think what the governor said makes sense..." Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Although the battle situation in Xichuan does not help directly alleviate Cao Cao's difficulties, it is very effective in the long run.

If Cao Cao could use Liu Xi to control Xichuan, he could not only threaten the hinterland of Jingzhou at any time, but also form a huge encirclement from Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, Si, and Hanzhong, Xichuan..."

"Zi Ming, wait first..." Liao Hua raised his hand and interrupted Lu Meng's words, "Although what you said makes sense, it seems to be too long-term.

If Cao Cao could not resist the two armies of Junhou and General, and threw away several states in the Central Plains, the encirclement of the net would be nothing more than a single empty talk. Even if he could get Xichuan, it would definitely be more than worth the loss..."

"Does Brother Yuan Jian really think Cao Cao has no ability to resist in the Central Plains?" Lu Meng asked with a smile.

Liao Hua's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he fell into deep thought. Other generals including He Qi in the mainland also focused their thoughts, but Lu Xun looked at Lu Meng with a faint smile.

Lu Meng, who opened the door of knowledge, has made great progress in his military strategy and strategy. Coupled with his independent experience in recent years, he has long since become a truly wise and brave general.

Lu Xun knew this very well. After all, the two have been partnering in Jiaozhou for more than three years.

"As Ziming said, although Cao Cao's current situation is passive, it is far from the point of waiting for death..." Cooperating with everyone's thoughts, Lu Xun said slowly, "In Xuzhou, Cao Cao's strategy of driving hundreds of thousands of people to the south will definitely ruin the people's hearts. This trick seems very short-sighted.

However, it is not so simple to see Cao Cao's old treacherous and sloppy. It can be seen that the army of kings and lords is now stagnant in Xia Pi and the East China Sea and cannot move forward any further.

How much food will be consumed by hundreds of thousands of people on their way southward? How many large armies will be delayed? If you are not careful, the people will become in chaos and the army will be unable to move at all.

Moreover, Cao Cao's intention may be more than that———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cao Cao was probably waiting for such an opportunity to appear, and then he tried his best to defeat the king and Hou.

As for the people's hearts, after winning, Cao Cao can find thousands of reasons to defend himself, such as saying that our army disguised as Cao's army and drove away the people to "corrupt" Cao Cao's reputation. At that time, who dares to investigate the whole story in depth?"

After a pause, Lu Xun continued: "Along with the Jingzhou side, the general defeated Nanyang and defeated Cao Cao several times, causing Cao's army to suffer heavy losses. But the next strategy direction is probably still to be.

It is reported that many people in the court have requested the lord to order the general to lead his army to capture Luoyang or to attack Xuchang..."

"Isn't this a mess?" said a man with a good temper like Liao Hua, who couldn't help but say in anger. "What do you ask for by a man from the battlefield? The general has experienced many battles. Isn't it clearer than them where to fight and how to fight?"

"Brother Yuan Jian, don't be angry. The lord is wise and decisive, and should not be at the mercy of others!" Lu Meng, who was standing beside him, reached out and patted Liao Hua lightly, and comforted him with a smile.

Liao Hua nodded and said nothing, but his expression was still solemn.

"Although Cao Cao's troops were seriously damaged, he should be able to draw troops. It is probably not easy for the general to continue the attack. In my opinion, the final victory or defeat in the Battle of Northern Expedition may not be decided in a short period of time.

Before the outcome is decided, even a slight change may affect the overall situation!" Lu Xun said slowly, "So, you must not take the battle situation in Xichuan at ease..."

"What are the plans of the governor?" He Qi asked anxiously.

"The most urgent task is to deal with the invasion of the barbarians in the South Central." Lu Xun walked to the sand table in the middle of the hall, pointed to the terrain in the Nanzhong area and said, "The hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers may sound horrifying at first, but in fact they are not enough to consider.

I am not talking nonsense. One reason is that the barbarians are not a monolithic part. Meng Huo is still young and his prestige is not enough to convince the public. The command of tens of thousands of troops will inevitably be scattered.

Secondly, the barbarians do not know the strategies of military affairs, but only know how to rely on their own courage...

My plan is a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, Zi Ming led his army to entangle with the barbarians, disturbing the food route, trapping the body, and restlessness in his heart. On the other hand, taking advantage of Meng Huo's efforts to attack, he used his power to lure those who were in conflict with him to rebel against him and gave him a pot of damage.

Once the Nanzhong changes, the barbarian army will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, they may be able to capture and kill Meng Huo in one fell swoop."

"What should I do with Xichuan?" Liao Hua nodded first, then asked with concern.

"In the current situation in Sichuan, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have a great advantage. However, the crisis they face is also quite large - lack of food and grass, and the front line is too long... These are nothing.

In my opinion, the most fatal problem is that Zhang Ren was eager to defeat Liu Xu, which weakened his garrison for Hanzhong, which was equivalent to completely exposing his back to Xiahou Yuan's eyes. As long as Xiahou Yuan came out of Hanzhong with a strange army.

It is very likely that Zhang Renyi will be caught off guard, which will lead to a complete reversal of the battle situation.

All we need to do is to mobilize troops secretly and gather at the Jing and Sichuan borders, and at the same time, we will send more and more detailed tasks to pay close attention to the war in Sichuan. Once Xiahou Yuan attacked Xichuan, he tried to ask Zhang Ren to ask for help from our Jingzhou.

Then we led our army into Sichuan, connected Zhang Ren, and divided the entire Xichuan into two, forming a confrontation between the two strong men.

In this way, not only will the danger in Jingzhou be eliminated, but it can also lay the weeds for the future lord Xichuan."

Lu Meng, Liao Hua, He Qi and others thought for a while, looked at each other, and then nodded one after another...

.

On April 29, 2018, the leader of the southern central barbarians, Meng Huo, joined forces with the leaders of the 72 caves of the caves of the alliance, and raised 150,000 troops to attack Jingzhou with the title of "drive away all the Han captives". The troops were directed to the Wuxi area of ​​Wuling County.

After receiving the message from the Seizure lurking in the south, he immediately sent a letter to warn Jingzhou.

When the news reached Jingbei, Lu Xun informed Lujiang and Wancheng of military information, and then went to Jingnan to take charge of the battle situation.

Liangzhou, Jincheng

After Cao Cao's envoy was sent away.

Han Sui's son Han Su sneered, "Cao Cao is really a traitor. Do you really think we don't know his situation? The messenger just said, "The battle situation is stalemate, it is difficult to decide the winner for a while, please help from Han Zhenxi". Hahaha... It's so funny.

He was obviously defeated in a row. He could hardly hold on, so he asked his father to save his life!"

"Hahaha..." Ma Wan, Liang Xing and other generals also laughed.

Amid the burst of laughter, Han Sui gently stroked his long beard under his chin and frowned and thought about something.

He noticed Han Sui's strangeness and his laughter gradually subsided.

"Father, is the child saying anything wrong?" Han Su said in surprise.

Slowly shook his head, Han Sui said in a deep voice: "You said it is good, Cao Cao must have been defeated very much. He was too short of his troops, so he thought of asking me to send troops."

"Before that step, Cao Cao would never dare to use my Liangzhou Iron Cavalry easily!" Yan Xingyu said with a bit of confidence and arrogance.

"Why is that adult so depressed?" asked the rough and arrogant landmaid in confusion.

"I'm wondering how strong Liu Bei's strength is..." Han Sui whispered, "Although he suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters, who is Cao Cao? He can actually force Cao Cao to this point, Liu Bei..."

Who is Cao Cao? He started his career as a small Chenliu County. He defeated powerful opponents. He owned the land of Jiuzhou and was under his command of hundreds of thousands of heroes...

The Xiliang Army has not fought with Cao Cao. Two battles of over 100,000 yuan, Cao Cao was the one who laughed to the end.

How powerful is Liu Bei to the point where he can force such a powerful Cao Cao to the point where he has to seek help from outside? If the Liangzhou army goes south to fight, his opponent will be Liu Bei.

.

Seeing that his son-in-law Yan Xing was also lowering his head to ponder, Han Sui asked curiously: "Yanming, what are you thinking?"

"...I'm thinking, what kind of person is that Zhang Fei?" Yan Xing raised his head and said slowly, "He could actually defeat Cao Cao several times. I heard that Ma Chao was also defeated by him back then."

Compared to Cao Cao, Ma Chao is obviously more important in the minds of the people of Xiliang. In the eyes of many Qiang people, Ma Chao is a symbol of the god of war Mubita, and even Han Sui hated and feared this "new generation" of nephew.

However, Ma Chao was indeed defeated by Zhang Fei, both in military use and in his most proud martial arts.

The originally relaxed atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Father, will we send troops?" Han Su asked hesitantly after a while.

Han Sui stood up and walked slowly to the entrance of the hall, looked at the vast blue sky in Liangzhou, and after a long time, he said, "Go out! Of course, you have to go out. If Liu Bei continues to win, the balance will be lost!"

Then, Han Sui turned around and smiled heroically: "It's time for the people of Central Plains to see our Liangzhou cavalry! The order is sent..."

"Roar~~!" Han Sui aroused the heroic spirit in his heart. The generals stood up at the same time, pounded his right hand on his chest and shouted.

.

Thirty thousand iron cavalry rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky and roared south.

…………………………………………………………….

The loss of Nanyang caused great shock among the prefectures and counties under Cao Cao's rule. The wealthy families in Runan, Yingchuan, Luoyang and other places went north to escape the war, and some families moved south quietly.

The wealthy family's avoidance of disaster has caused panic among the people, and a wave of refugees is slowly forming.

Since May, hundreds of people have fled to Nanyang every day, preparing to enter Xiangyang and Zhangling through this.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Nanyang and prevent Cao Cao from using this to send a detailed investigation into the reality of our army, I had to arrange some personnel to guide the refugees to move south, and at the same time ordered local officials to post a list of the people.
